Introduction
Alcohol marketing has long been suspected of encouraging underage drinking by researchers and policymakers. Despite the fact that alcohol marketing and advertising are allegedly intended solely at adults. Young people's brains continue to develop and grow before they're in their mid-twenties [1]. This is particularly true of the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making. Taking drugs when people are young can cause problems with the brain's development. It may also have an impact on their decision-making. They may be more likely to engage in harmful behavior, such as unsafe sex or irresponsible driving. The earlier young individuals begin taking drugs, the more likely they are to continue using them and develop an addiction later in life [2]. Using drugs when people are young can lead to future health concerns like heart disease, high blood pressure, and sleep disturbances. Alcohol, cigarettes, and crack cocaine are the most often consumed drugs by young people [3]. Vamping tobacco and marijuana has become more popular among young people in recent years. We still don't know a lot about the consequences of vamping. Some people have become very ill or even died as a result of vamping. As a result, young people should refrain from puffing. There are following symptoms of drug [4]. Having a lot of different friends, spending a lot of time alone and losing interest in activities you used to enjoy, not caring for themselves, such as not showering, changing clothes, or cleaning their teeth [5,6]. They are frequently exhausted and depressed and eating more or less frequently than usual, being feisty, speaking quickly, or expressing things that don't make sense, having a sour mood, changing from a terrible to a pleasant mood in a matter of seconds, not showing up for critical meetings, having difficulties at school, such as missing classes or receiving poor marks, they have issues with their personal or family relationships, theft and cheating, memory lapses, lack of attention, coordination issues, slurred speech, and so on [7].

Objectives
The aim and objectives of our study is to identify the effects of abusing drugs in our society and play a role to stop it.

Methodology
The study was done in the following districts (Faisalabad, Shorkot, Chiniot, Jhang, Jaranwala and Gojra) by the interviews of people who were drug addicts through the questionnaire. Addict prisons were not investigated This survey research was conducted between March 2020 and June 2020. The study areas were selected random. People of rural and urban areas whose are addict of these drugs, are interviewed and they are asked these questions like which type of medicine/drug do they use, Do they use any abusing medicines/drugs, How is their academic performance before and after use of medicines/ drugs, do they ever feel guilty about your medicines/drugs use, Have they been able to stop using medicine/drugs when you want, Have medicines/drugs created problems between you and your friend/family, have they ever felt trouble at work due to use of drugs, have they been arrested because of medicines/ drugs, do they want to stop this addiction, do they have any medical problem due to this habit, do they have any treatment to get rid of using medicines/drugs, what do you want to say about medicines/drugs addiction and much more questions like these ( Table 1). randomly like Faisalabad, Shorkot, Chiniot, Jhang, Jaranwala and Gojra. It was not based on counting of drug addicts, it was only based on impacts of these drugs on their lives and which is the most common and dangerous drug. We interviewed about 450 drug addicts and we have found about six abusing drugs among those. The drugs were alcohol, heroin, marijuana, allergic injection, inhalant and opium and the percentage of addicts were 24, 30, 15, 14, 10 and 7 respectively. Addicts of heroin were comparatively found more than other (Figure 1).
The was an important question about their medical condition during the usage of drugs and many problems were found like weakness, abdominal pain, kidney swelling, loss of self-control, brain issues and even coma or death. Most of the drug addicts were arrested by police. They feel guilty for this bad habit and about 70% people try to get rid of this but they can't. A number of educated people were also found in this bad habit we analyzed that the drug impact very badly on their careers. According to their answers we explored that they have following problem like lack of confidence, bad academic performance, face the failure and no brain control. In our findings, 9% females and 91% males were involve. If we say about age factor 25% were teen ager, 60% were between 20 to 40 years and 15% were above 40 years (Figure 2).
Their survival is very difficult, in fact, most of them died at a young age.

Discussion
Drug usage can have major health repercussions at any age, but teenagers are especially vulnerable [8]. Drug-abusing teenagers are more prone to develop an addiction later in life and suffer from persistent and irreparable brain damage. Other detrimental consequences of juvenile drug addiction include: anxiety, despair, mood swings, suicidal thoughts, and schizophrenia can all be caused or masked by drug usage. In fact, 34.6 percent of youth with serious depression say they use drugs. Unfortunately, substance abuse can exacerbate the severity of these mental issues. Teens who use marijuana on a weekly basis, for example, have a twofold increased risk of despair and anxiety [9]. Adolescents who use drugs are more likely to experience social issues, sadness, suicide thoughts, and violence. Those who abuse drugs are more likely than teens who do not abuse drugs to participate in delinquent behaviors such as fighting and stealing, according to a recent poll by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. According to studies, the younger a person starts taking drugs, the more likely they are to have a substance abuse issue and relapse later in life. Those who use drugs are five times more likely than teens that do not use drugs to have sex. Teens,   Teens that use needles to take drugs put themselves at danger for blood-borne infections like HIV, AIDS, and Hepatitis B and C. Teen drug misuse can lead to significant mental illnesses or permanent, irreversible brain or nervous system damage.
Brain shrinkage, poor learning capacities, amnesia and memory problems, impaired thinking, perception, and intuition, increased or decreased socializing, and changes in sexual desire are all symptoms of drug addiction in teenagers [10].
Drug-abusing teenagers are more likely to be involved in car accidents, which can result in serious injury or death. According to one study, 4 to 14% of drivers who are injured or killed in car accidents test positive for THC.

Conclusion
It is concluded that authorities should play their role to stop this sin and it should be established a number of centers for treatment of the drug addicts. Drug misuse is a complicated issue that involves not only the sale and trafficking of illicit substances, but also the disruption of the manufacturing and trafficking chain by arresting individuals who manufacture, import, and sell narcotics. Psychological care for drug users and their families is also necessary, but prevention through public awareness campaigns and health risk information to the general public plays a crucial role. It's also important to be able to respond to the question, "Why do people consume drugs?" Understanding the psychosocial reasons that lead people to use drugs, particularly young people, would help us identify where to intervene in society with targeted information campaigns as well as support services such as therapy.
